With so much work I have had my succulents and cacti a little abandoned, with luck, they are resistant to the neglect to which I usually submit them, to see my cacti and succulents bloom is something that fills me with joy, in the area it is not common to see them bloom, however, this summer has given us surprises, for example, this Peniocereus greggii, which has been blooming very often these last weeks, I used to have it in the back garden, however, after an infestation of ants that almost finished with it, we decided to place it in the landing of the stairs that leads to the annex where my brother lives with his wife, where it receives good sun, and in this way, its flowering has been quite continuous.
One of the things that really pisses me off about when cacti bloom is that if I can't see the flower in the morning, I can't enjoy them or their delicious aroma anymore. Some haven't given me the chance to photograph them because they bloom in a place where I can't see their flowers, and when I realize it, it's too late. This flower is very similar to the one given to us by the lady of midnight. In fact, one of the common names by which this cactus is known is Queen of the Night, and it begins to open its beautiful flowers at dawn.
Some of my cactus have given fruits, however, those who have enjoyed them, have been the birds that do not give chance of anything hahaha. As you can see in the images, this small one, cries out for a change of pot, as I commented previously, this was one of the cactus that I thought, I was going to lose, after a plague of ants, finished with the roots of them, of this one only had remained a small cutting, that we left in this container, to see if it was saved, and as you can see, it has been progressing very well.

Con tanto trabajo he tenido mis suculentas y cactus un poco abandonadas, con suerte, ellas son resistentes al abandono al que suelo someterlas, ver florecer mis cactus y suculentas es algo que me llena de alegría, por la zona no es común verlos florecer, sin embargo, este verano nos ha regalado sorpresas, por ejemplo, este Peniocereus greggii, que ha estado floreciendo muy seguido estas últimas semanas, solía tenerla en el jardín trasero, sin embargo, luego de una infestación de hormigas que casi termina con él, decidimos colocarlo en el descanso de la escalera que da al anexo donde vive mi hermano con su esposa, en donde recibe buen sol, y de esta manera, su floración ha sido bastante seguida
Una de las cosas que me cabrea mucho de cuando florecen los cactus, es que, si no pude ver la flor en la mañana, ya no puedo disfrutar de ellas, ni de su delicioso aroma, algunas no me han dado la oportunidad de fotografiarlas, pues florecen en un sitio en donde no logro ver sus flores, y ya cuando me percato, es demasiado tarde, esta flor es muy similar a la que nos regala la dama de la media noche, de hecho uno de los nombres comunes, por los que es conocido este cactus, es Reina de la noche, y es que, comienza a abrir sus hermosas flores en la madrugada.
Algunos de mis cactus han dado frutos, sin embargo, quienes han disfrutado de ellos, han sido las aves que no dan chance de nada jajaja. Como pueden ver en las imágenes, este pequeño, pide a gritos un cambio de maceta, como comenté anteriormente, este fue uno de los cactus que pensé, iba a perder, luego de que una plaga de hormigas, acabara con las raíces de ellos, de este solo había quedado un pequeño esqueje, que dejamos en este envase, a ver si se salvaba, y como ven, ha ido progresando muy bien.
